More Profits in Your Website Hosting Business


If you run a website hosting business, you already know the challenges in the business. Thousands of competitors are just a click away, ready to undercut your price.

How can you get more profits from your business under these conditions?

FIRST, GET THE CUSTOMER

Calculate the lifetime value of your customer. For example, let’s say the average customer stays with you for 15 months and pays 16.95 a month. That means their lifetime value to your company is $254.25. So every customer you acquire makes your business (on average) $254.25.

If a visitor comes to your website, then leaves to comparison shop, you have more than likely lost that sale. Have you invested in sales copy that compels your visitors to buy from you? Does your website help him to see that you are the best choice for his situation? Showcase your credibility, guarantee services and offer incentives to try your service. Make it easy to buy from you.

NEXT, KEEP THE CUSTOMER

Because each customer is hard-won and the value of the customer is so high, you’ll want to make sure you have the support services that keep your customers happy.

Once a customer leaves you for another website host, he’s gone forever. You probably already make customer service a priority, with email answered in a timely fashion and well-trained technical support. Go the extra mile. Don’t wait for customers to contact you. Ask your customer how you’re doing.

THEN, SELL MORE TO THE CUSTOMER

The customer has already bought from you. There is familiarity and trust. You can easily offer complimentary items to your current customer list.

The major concern of your customer is how to succeed online. It’s easy to offer online marketing tools, ebooks and additional services. It can be as simple as joining an affiliate program for an item your customer may need, then making him aware of the item.

Focus on these 3 areas, getting the customer, keeping the customer and selling more to him. You’ll enjoy higher profits in your website hosting business.

Thanx for useful information

Don’t Buy Reseller Web Hosting Plan!


Before you pay $24.95 a month or more for that reseller web hosting plan, read this . A reseller plan generally offers you more space and bandwidth then a regular shared hosting plan. However one thing to keep in mind that a reseller plan is still a form of a shared hosting plan. It’s not a dedicated server, and there will be other sites on the same IP address and server as yours. So what other alternatives do you have to host multiple sites for one monthly price?

Interesting enough several of the hosting companies that offer these reseller plans are now offering multiple domain name setup on one shared hosting account. What exactly does this mean?

New in PHP 5


People are taking so much about the PHP 5, what is new in that?

With the introduction of PHP 5 programmers will be enjoying numerous new features that will make their life more interesting.

i) PHP has new integrated for support for XML. The various functions and classes provided to handle XML in different ways all now use the same underlying library (libxml2). This should make XML features more stable and interoperable.

ii) The SQLite SQL library is now bundled with PHP, together with all the functions you need to work with it.

iii) PHP now supports private and protected methods and properties in classes.

iv) PHP supports class constants.

v) Objects passed to functions and methods are now passed by reference. That is, a reference to an object is passed around your script rather than copies of objects. This significantly reduces the likelihood of bugs in object-oriented code.

vi) PHP supports static methods and properties, making more advanced object-oriented designs possible.

vii) Methods can now be declared to require particular object types.

viii) The comparison operator (===) now checks that two references point to the same object. Previously, it was hard to test objects in this way.

ix) PHP now supports abstract classes and interfaces.

Zend related to PHP


I have learning PHP, but, most of the times, I used to come across the word Zend engine, how it is related to PHP

Hi,

Zend is a scripting engine that sits below the PHP-specific modules. It was optimized to ensure massively improved performance and extensibility.

With the introduction of the Zend Engine 2, PHP 5 brings new fundamental improvements. The engine provides significantly enhanced support for object-oriented programming. For the first time, objects and object-oriented design lie at the heart of PHP, making it an even more suitable platform for large enterprise applications.

Making money from reselling web hosting


I want to make money reselling web hosting. I see two paths: Be an affiliate and get money from simple referrals. Be a reseller and buy services and resell them.
which one is better?
Easiest option is to be an affiliate.
You must be prepared to give support, if you are going to be a reseller.
Unless you have some sort of passion to become a real web host and learn the business inside and out I would suggest you become an affiliate.
If u have so much time to invest in business then go with Reseller web hosting otherwise Affiliate program.
Start as an affiliate and get your feet wet, then decide if you want to become a reseller.
affiliates can be effective if you are a web designer and you are referring your design clients to a host while not having to worry about the maintenance and support of your clients and their accounts.
An affiliate account is not the best way to maximise income through webhosting.
I would suggest you don’t bother with affiliate programs. Anyone who knows anything about hosting will see that you are an affiliate and just go straight to the source. The only good thing about affiliate programs is that you do not have to support the clients.

Need time to develop a site


I am thinking of new project, which I want it to be completed within 10 days, I am thinking would it be possible as after designers, developers also need some time.

Well, you can continue with the coding stage when the design and build stages are on, this is because PHP allows you to separate HTML code from scripted elements. Not only can this make life easier for you as a programmer, but it also can remove obstacles that stand in the way of effective and flexible design.

Is PHP has got good performance


There are lot of other server scripting languages, such as ASP, Perl, and Java Servlets, can we say that PHP shows solid performance compared with other’s.

We can say that PHP shows solid performance compared with other server scripting languages, such as ASP, Perl, and Java Servlets because of the powerful zend engine. To further improve performance, you can acquire a caching tool (Zend Accelerator), it stores compiled code in memory, eliminating the overhead of parsing and interpreting source files for every request.

Will PHP application run on other OS


I have taken the unix shared plan from cpwebhosting.net, but, now I am feeling one problem, that on my PC I am having windows, and I am doing the development in PHP on that, will that application will run on the UNIX system.

No problem in that, PHP is designed to run on many operating systems and to cooperate with many servers and databases. You can build for a Unix environment and shift your work to NT without a problem. You can test a project with Personal Web Server and install it on a Unix system running on PHP as an Apache module.
